I hate long series unless all the books are already out... THEN I LOVE THEM
Exactly. I'm going to read Harry Potter and Wizard of Oz series for the first in 2019, but only because they've already been completed.
Jay G Same. But I have here my own opinion about it.
SO TRUE😂
AGREED
Harry potter- you are in for a treat. I read the whole series for the first time in january . believe it or not - in 3 days. Ya, it's that good.
I love long series, but I hate waiting!
Give me long series over stand-alones ANY DAY
OML KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES IS THE BEST SERIES EVEEEERR!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad you’re reading this! I know literally no one who’s even heard of these books, so I’m really happy you’re getting into it. My favorite things about this series is that the world is really complex and well-built (especially for a middle grade series), the characters have such human emotions and traits which I NEVER see (it’s like all of Sarah J Maas’s characters are flippin superheroes), and that their bad decisions actually lead to serious consequences later on, instead of just working out sweetly in the end. I won’t spoil anything, but there’s something that happens in the 3rd book that keeps building into a much more serious problem until it all falls down by the end of book 5, and I personally felt like this climactic build-up to a devastating result was done so well in this series. Let me know what you think of the series! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts❤️❤️❤️
Edit: sorry for the SUPER long comment😝
Ellie, Books, and the Struggles of Life agree
I love them too. I really hate Lodestar and Nightfall though. OK maybe I just disliked Nightfall, but Neverseen is the best by far
I know! NO one on booktube is talking about these AMAZING books! The characters are amazing and the world and the plot and the plot twists and OMG!! I started these books in French, so I have to wait until February to read Flashback... I'M DYING HERE!
Ellie, Books, and the Struggles of Life KOTLC IS LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellie, Books, and the Struggles of Life the series is actually really famous. I see it EVERYWHERE, but I don’t get it. Yesterday, while shopping, I finally tried reading the first book. IT GOT ME HOOKED IN THE FIRST 3 PARAGRAPHS. I IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO BUY IT
FINALLY THIS SERIES IS GETTING ATTENTION😤😤🎉🎉
Me Df I KNOW
True
Ya
It should be compared to Harry Potter I have read both and I am edging towards KOTLC
Me Df OMG IKR, when I searched up reviews on UA-cam and book talks and stuff about this series I was so surprised that there were like only a few
The worst part is that the post depression is bigger and longer. Btw the last reasons are awesome 😂
Sasha, I am 110% with you. I don't mind long series either. We get more of the characters, we see greater development, and we get more moments out of the couples we love. For example, I love the fact Throne of Glass is an 8-book series because we saw the amazing transformation Caelena went into becoming Aelin and getting so many amazing characters.
Keeper of The Lost Cities is SOOOOOO good!!! I’ve been following it since everblaze came out and it is my favorite series of all time!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!! Love you Sasha!
Nicole Schultz same
Same
sameeeee!!!!!
Same! Sadly, I discovered the book series about half a year after Nightfall came out. I’m so happy that me and my mom found it, though, and I read it religiously waiting for Legacy
Same
i literally LOOOVE kotlc more than percy jackson/hunger games/divergent/etc and MAYYBEEE even more or just as much as harry potter! its popular, however still very underrated! i truly hope one day it gets a movie and that the movie is done well like the harry potter movies! shannon really deserves all the attention she gets! she's a fantastic writer as well
That’s exactly how I feel! It’s by far the best series I’ve read (and I’ve read A LOT)
It’s just so amazing. I don’t want to wait for Legacy :(
I agree with you on all of them except for Percy Jackson 😅😅 though it’s very close to it, nothing can top Percy for me
KOTLC movie is confirmed!!!!
I love the Keeper of the Lost Cities. I've only read the first three, but they are awesome. Also, I find for fantasy, longer tends to be better because there are new worlds and races. There's so much to discover and longer series and books can make you discover it. But it's not always good because I can think of a few books that spent all that length in the wrong spots.
AFrozenBookParadise Neverseen is book 4 and it is so good, I just started reading the series in January and at school the books are never really in stock
So glad its finally getting noticed
THE EIGHTH BOOK IS CALLED LEGACY
-my friend 2019
Uncle Snivie 8.5 is unlocked
YESSSSSS KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES
I’ve just read exile and hOLY COW ITS SO GOOD. I will be continuing the series!!
Omg I love this series. Currently in flashback and its killing me
OMG I finished Flasback and I am dying. I have to wait till’ November 5th for Book 8. I have the countdown timer set up and everything!
THE ENDING
THE. ENDING
THAT IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY
TAM!!! KEEFE!!! FITZ!!!
TEAM FOSTER-KEEFE AND FITZPHIE!!!
WHAT WILL HAPPEN????
WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE UUUNNNMMAATTTCCHHHAABBLLEEE????????
@@brilliantbooks4181 gosh, same!!!
Ik. Everyone’s talking about the matchmaking... but what about TAM???? Like.... AAAAH. WHAT THE HECK. WHAT ISNHAPPENING AND WHY IS IT HAPPENING. WE JUST NEED LEGACY
my favorite long series is the throne of glass series because literally everyone has such amazing character development and everyone is linked in some sort of way and i just love that you find out so much more about their world with every book you read
OOOHH, YYEESSSSS
I think I tend to like longer series more because if you enjoy the first book, you have SO MANY to fall back on and you get to stay in the world for so much longer. That’s why Harry Potter and Throne of Glass are my favorite series of all time. They’re so detailed and drawn out and beautiful.
i love keeper of the lost cities! it's so great! i haven't yet purchased flashback, but i so ready to read it!
PLEASE DO IT IS AMAZING AND THE ENDING IS DEADLY
I think it depends on the series. Some are done well long while others do better shorter.
I prefer long series too just because when I buy books I try to buy ones I'll like so usually default to buying series coz then I'll know that I'll probably liek the next book so no money waste!
Sasha-
Loves long series and makes a video saying 2 books in a series isn’t enough
Also Sasha-
Writes a 2 book series
OMG I LOVE KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES
I love Keeper of the Lost Cities!! I've been reading this series since Neverseen came out and I'm getting Flashback signed tomorrow!! I'm so excited and also.. yesss this series is getting more attention!!!❤👏
This is a super interesting discussion! I think you have some excellent points, however, I get so intimidated when there's a series I wanna start yet know that there are quiet a few books in the series... I need to get over that because when I just jump into one without realising, I tend to enjoy the journey far more instead of thinking "ahhh I have 6 books left ahhhh", when really that should be part of the fun because you know... more time in a beloved world, yet I still worry that perhaps there's more chance of disappointment, if that makes sense?? Thanks for discussing this Sasha!
I think long series, ... I dread when they come to an end. Tfs hun👍🏾💞
This series honestly changed my love of reading. I’m not kidding when I say it helped me grow into who I am today! It was the start of my journey into reading bigger books and I felt so connected to the characters, especially Sophie, that it made me feel more powerful and confident! Not only did this series inspire me to read more but I still can put the books down when I read ANY one of them! It makes me so happy that your reading them now and I’m just so thankful for the day I accidentally came across the series! Love you❤️❤️
I love long series so much! Also, I have been binging booktube videos all week and saw that you posted this. I was super excited since KotLC is one of my favorite series and I don't know anyone else except for my best friend who reads them. Anyways, have a lovely day!
i used to be obsessed with the keeper books when i was younger, so cool to hear that the series has still continued on!
I’m a non-english native speaker and I’m looking for these types of young adult books for practicing English, as they are easier to read than the mature ones, Any recommendations?
They also look beautiful on the shelf, especially if you can get the same size and matching covers.
I ALWAYS stop what I'm doing to watch your videos!
I love the way she says bye at the end of her videos
Keeper of the lost cities is my second favorite series of all time, and after finishing the seventh book I had SUCH a hangover. I’m a very very avid reader and I didn’t read for about a month. I can’t wait for book eight!! I’m so glad this series is getting attention!!!!
YAY I LOVE THIS SERIES! I'm currently on the third book and I really really love the characters so far, the storyline is so captivating! ☺
Such a sweet video. Books are awesome. Also love Shannon Messenger, thanks for this video, Sasha.
I totally agree. I love series' especially long series sooo much. I don't think I own even a handful of stand-alones. May have to check this series out. It sounds awesome!
It is so you should and if you don't ship foster-keefe then you will die
i’ve been with this series ever since the 2nd book came out and its one of my favorites :))
Okay random but i just started watching outlander because of you(and i will stop to read the books first even though i am hooked) and i was googling something about it and i was spoiled about the aging of the characters and like an hour later im watching your video and you mention it!! I dont know those coincidences always freak me out 😂😂
100 percent book hangover when I finished never seen and there was no more out, so I’ve been reading since.
Ps: who’s your favorite character from kotlc? Mines definitely keefe
m a r i a m samee. I am stuck in a book hangover after that Flashback ending. I just need Keefe and Sophie to be together but idk how its going to happen now. Ahh I need that 8th book!
Mehak Kalia ikr
m a r i a m omg I love keefe, he is an actual legend
I definitely agree with your opinion on how longer series are better because in my opinion with a lot of stand-alones I always want the story to continue another book or two however with the long series, you're in that world for a while which I absolutely love.
I’m so happy to see more KOTLC content I’ve been with it since the beginning!!
I can only read long series if they are completed when I begin them! I made the mistake of reading the mortal instruments before the last one came out and by the time it was published I didn’t have the connection to the books anymore
Oooo ive had that series on my TBR for a while now, i should read it soon!
I don’t mind long series, short series, or standalones lol, I read everything
This was also quite helpful from an author perspective too, thank you! That ending was adorable.
I can't wait till all Stormlight Archives books are out. 10 book series--hell yeah!
I love KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES but I am aredy done the series ( Flashback included ) I am so sad becuse the 8th book Legacy is coming out on Nov 5 , 2019 whyyyy I am left on such a big cliff hanger
I love long series and standalones both. it just depends on my mood :p
also your hair looks amazing Sasha :)
i don't know where in Vermont you are but there's a bookstore in lyndonville that's one of my all time faves called green mountain books and print. just in case you feel like exploring lol
I just LOVE keeper of the lost cities so so so so much! A friend of mine recommendet it for years to me and I finally get it a try... ITS SOOO GOOD!! I can‘t wait to start with book 7!
Flashback and Legacy are coming on the 26th (to my house) I'm so excited!
AHHH YES I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL WITH KOTLC ON IT
When are you gonna read tower of dawn? And lord of shadows?
Last time I had a book hangover with I didn't read for a year. But I'm glad I read this series.
I love long series!!! I always have another book to look forward to and like you said I have more time with my favorite characters.
I love long series', too. One of my favorites is the Noble Dead saga, which is 14 books. All year, I've been hosting a readalong for the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, which is also 14 books. I also love several series' that have spinoffs, or span multiple trilogies.
I'm definitely checking out keeper of lost cities as girl power is amazing! When I move out my furniture is now going to be books!
I just got book 7, can't wait!
Can you do a video of your favorite long book series?
Literally watching this next to all my Keepers of the Lost Cities piled on my bed
I have literally been waiting so long for her to recognized this book series. I have been i love with this series since 2013.
Plus Keefe!!!!!!!!!!
ARE TEAM FOSTER-KEEFE OR FITZPHIE ANSWER ME NOW!!!!!
My favorite thing during Sasha’s videos are her dogs making cameos
I love long series!! They get dive deeper into the backstories of the characters which I love!! ❤️
UGHHH I WANT TO GET THE SEVENTH BOOK BUT ITS NOT OUT IN MY COUNTRY I HATE WAITING
Anybody read the Morganville vampire series lol? I will start it soon, so I hope it good!!
I SAW KEEPER AND I CLICKED!!! i remember yearss ago i was hoping you'd read keeper, YAYYYYYYY
Long series can be fun for the slow plot development, moving toward a big end-game story.
The bad thing about long series is that it can take a long time to get through them. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files, that's currently at 15 books, having begun in 2000. The author is planning on around 23 books in the series, so we have quite a ways to go.
I LOVE KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES!! I have read all the books about 3 times. I just finished Flashback and I’m so sad it’s over 😭
So can we expect your series to be lengthy of length?
I love long series, but not always, I guess it depends of how the author writes the story and characters, because sometimes long series feel like they have a lot of information that’s not necessary...
But still, most of the time I prefer long series over stand-alones!
Ps: Love your makeup, Sasha!! ❤️
Its about time someone talks about this masterpiece!
I just recently started reading KOTLC!!! I actually just got the first book only about 2 days ago and I’m already more than halfway done with it. Also FYI this video came out on my birthday haha~
I’ve read the first keeper of the lost cities I’m trying to read the second but I have battle of the books 😖😖
Keeper of the Lost Cities is my favorite book series of all time and with each book that comes out its make me love it even more.
finally someone talking about kotlc, it’s underrated on booktube
OMG! I love KOTLC! I’ve been following the series since book 6 came out and the characters make me so happy 😊. Also, I’m surprised that KOTLC is being brought onto Booktube but I’m glad it is 😊.
“They make great tables.” As the books fall down. 🤣
I think its up to how the book is build. Some books have to many books and some too few. :)
But the longest series i have read is Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter. It has over 20 books in the series and i have read 20 of them. Some of the books even has over 500 pages. I don't know how i read all of them :D
This is my favorite series right now! I love them so much!
This series is amazing and I love that it is gaining more popularity as it goes. Also fun fact, it is actually been pushed up to a 1o, yes TEN book series!!
now imagine putting a glass full of water on that book-table and the table falling like that adhuidhis
I love both. I will read whatever is good.
I love long series personally
Also Keeper of the Lost Cities has been one of my favorite series for a while now. I've been reading it since the second book came out. It's been a long time and I love growing along with the characters
tbh i can't afford long series cause they dont usually have this type of variet in my country and even with amazon's free shipping i have to pay shipping from miami to here and ugh dollars are eXPENSIVE
This video is great! I agree with every point, and the book building is hilarious.
I love those books! (I’m nine and finished the 794 paged one in two days, let’s just say I love reading)
I've just started Keeper of the Lost Cities. 💓
I fell in the love with KOTLC on the first chapter! I didn't even know there was more until my friend told me!
I definitely prefer longer series! Shorter series almost always leave me waiting more. I love this video Sasha and thanks for creating it!
you rock sasha. Thx for the books you got me into
I love this series! I discovered it when the 3rd book was out. I think it is amazing! Would definitely recommend if you love harry potter because it gave me a similar vibe, but it is totally its own thing.
Soundsike a really great series. I just might have to take a look at it.
I know for me, I really love a long series if it is set in a great world. There is nothing like finding a wonderful world that you get to live in as you read the books. The longer the series, the longer you get to live in that world.
Long live long book series especially Kotlc!
Here in France we have yet to wait a week before flashback’s release and I am dying to have it! The series keeps improving with each book and It is astonishing how « unknown » it seems to be in its original language while in France it is pretty much loved by everyone!
I recommend it to everyone who seeks good characters and magic system even if it’s middle grade!
By the way, team SOKEEFE wins all! (Even though Dex is my little cutie)
FOSTER-KEEFE IS DA BEST
I love long series
literally been waiting for this video since 2013
I have seen The Keeper of the Lost Cities at the library recently.
i've been reading keeper since seventh grade, and im a junior in high school now ahhh.
It is amazing I have read them all multiple times
I love long series for those same reasons and Keeper of the Lost Cities is one of my all time favorites!!! ❤️
I LOVE keeper of the lost cities!!!!!!!!! Waiting a whole year for each book is super hard, but it's part of the experience!
OH GODS IKRRR
LOVE KOTLC! The world-building is phenomenal, the characters, the relationships. Aahubshubshnus, Just can’t wait for Legacy!
